Have you heard? Blik’s Super Mario Bros and Donkey Kong Re-Stik wall decals are now available at UrbanOutfitters.com. Check us out in the New Arrivals shop. Now you can get your official Nintendo wall graphics from one of your favorite online stores, plus Urban Outfitters offers free returns.

Hurry and place your order - the princess is waiting to be rescued.

Our Venice neighbor and frequent collaborator, Ilan Dei just added two new wall graphics to his existing popular collection at Blik. Ilan’s inspiration for the “Calla” and “Rose” botanical graphics came from his love of nature combined with his clean design aesthetic.

GIVEAWAY! To celebrate the launch of the new graphics, we are giving away two side tables from the Ilan Dei Studio. The table is perfect for indoor or outdoor summer entertaining. Retailing for $240 each, the weather-resistant plywood and acrylic side tables are part of the Studio’s Aquarium Collection. Inspired by light, the acrylic top is translucent and casts an amber glow when the table is placed in direct sunlight. Even better, the table comes with two sheets of vintage Ilan Dei for Blik “Nature” wall graphics that can easily be applied underneath the acrylic top to create a custom one-of-a-kind piece. You stick it and Blik it.

Contest Details: Like us Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/whatisblik) and let us know what you think of the table and where you’d use it this summer. On June 24, we’ll pick two design savvy winners who will each receive an Aquarium side table. The giveaway is only open to residents in the contiguous United States (excludes Alaska and Hawaii.) Contest runs from June 16, 2010 at 12:00am PST to 11:59pm PST on June 23, 2010. Winners will be notified on June 24, 2010.

Congratulations to UK-based graphic artist, Matt Lyon - http://www.society6.com/c8six
